This past Monday 5dayslater, day 10 of symptoms, I went to pick him up for thanksgiving break and his face and eyes were yellow. We went to er and ast was 391 and alt was 518. Chest X-ray and ultrasound were normal. doctor Concluded that inflammation of liver was complication of flu. Discharged and advised to follow up with physician at home for repeat blood work or ER.
